About the experience in: Arusha, Tanzania
Brazil
Arusha is amazing. At school, the staff appreciates every effort you make. The children are lovely. If you're thinking about volunteering, you definitely should. Marko and Sam helped us a lot. We are very thankful. However, we found out that we were not working for "the organization", to which we had fundraised, but for "Beyond Child Smile". We also weren't given a certificate and were told on our last day that it was only for people who stayed a month. Marko was able to make us a recommendation letter (which, unfortunately, is not enough for uni credits). Overall, it was an incredible opportunity!
